Our Verdict

Building Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform offers a solid foundation for understanding the benefits and usage of Terraform, particularly if you are focused on AWS. However, be prepared to encounter inconsistencies in syntax due to outdated content, low volume in some lessons, and issues requiring manual fixes during lab sessions.

What We Liked

Comprehensive introduction to Terraform for learners new to the tool, touching on topics like templates and importing existing resources
Clear explanations from the instructor of why and how to use Terraform effectively, with concise demonstrations that help cement knowledge
Hands-on learning approach with labs throughout the course, providing practical experience and real-world scenarios

Potential Drawbacks

Some portions not updated for Terraform 0.12, such as syntax and console output, leaving learners to figure out differences on their own
Low volume in some video lessons makes it hard to hear the instructor clearly, requiring learners to increase volume significantly or use headphones
Lab guide contains errors and missing source code blocks, causing issues for learners as they follow along with labs
